Electric car driving tenants, employees and visitors of the Atlantic Station mixed-use community in Atlanta can breath a sigh of relief knowing they will never again have to leave the complex with a dying battery. According to a recent announcement, four new Level 2 electric-vehicle charging units have been put in operation in the underground parking garage on P1, near the valet station.

Inaugurated in in 2005, Atlantic Station is a sustainable mixed-use development built on Atlantic Steel Company’s abandoned mill site that today is a thriving district in Atlanta’s Midtown neighborhood. Anchor tenants of the community include employers such as Wells Fargo, Ogilvy & Mather and BB&T, retailers like H&M and Dillard’s along with a number of popular restaurants.

CBRE Global Investors, the owner of the property, had previously started investing in a stable infrastructure of car chargers at Atlantic Station. The development has a street-level charging station on 17th Street near the Millennium Gate offering four Level 2 units and one DC fast-charger unit. That one is partially powered by overhead solar panels and is available at no cost to the public. The new chargers, partially funded by Nissan, offer a charging rate that gives a car around 25 miles of driving range over a one-hour charging interval and cost of 85 cents per hour for the public.

John Gilb, principal at CBRE Global Investors is proud that the community is moving toward more environmentally friendly transportation and believes that Atlantic Station is setting an example.

“Our EV charging stations are convenient not only for our visitors, but to the Midtown community as a whole,”he says.
